Once you have your phone, all you need are the right tools and some knowledge, and you can create an excellent blog.

Here are some suggestions that may prove useful:

More and more bloggers are finding that the majority of their readers engage with their posts via mobile devices. This is good news for bloggers; since when bloggers use mobile devices to access posts, they are usually looking for just small chunks of text to read. That means bloggers can reach a wider audience with bite-sized bits of content designed for mobile use that supplement their regular full-length posts.

The most important thing in a blog is to communicate daily. It is true that longer blog posts tend to perform better overall than small bits of information, but micro-blogging is growing in popularity, and when combined with social media, it is a big hit.

Apps are essential for running a great blog on your mobile device, and there are hundreds available. When you need to update your blog, track analytics, post photos, link to social media, or perform any number of small changes to your blog, using a mobile app can help ease the process.

Most bloggers recommend using the following types of apps:

As mentioned previously, a good text editor is essential for running a good blog through your phone. You can always compose your blog posts in the blogging platform app, but these apps aren’t notorious for having great text editors. They are more focused on the function of the blog itself than the text editor, which means it can have glitches in essential functions, like backing up your post or running spell check.

A good text editor app, such as Google Docs, Sublime Text, Notepad, and Vim allow you to write and edit text without risking lost work. Many of these apps also offer coding capabilities, which allow more web design-savvy bloggers to publish their posts on their custom websites.

An up-and-coming form of blogging is email blogging. Essentially, bloggers collect emails from their readers and send an occasional blog post through email. This offers an exclusive look to subscribers on your latest posts. Most people check their email on their phones daily, so they are more than likely to see it through email than through your blog.

If you use WordPress, you can also adjust your email settings so that it automatically posts to your blog. The platform offers a unique address that can be used to type a blog post through your email and have it publish on your blog. This can be useful, since email offers many of the spell check and draft-saving features of a text editor, and it is easy to access on your mobile device.

All of these tips are great for posting text to your blog, but as you well know, if you don’t have photos, your post won’t perform well. As a general rule of thumb, your photos must beoptimised for mobile use before posting through your phone.

Many bloggers employ the use of photo portfolio sites like Flickr. This photo-sharing site will automatically resize and optimise your photos for responsive use, so when you publish a blog post through your email or your blogging platform app, the photos won’t have any problem transitioning from small screen to large and vice versa.
